Add ground beef and minced garlic to a dutch oven or large soup pot. Brown ground beef and garlic over medium-high heat.
Once the ground beef is cooked, drain off any excess oil. Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and oregano to the pot. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add 2 packages of Hamburger Helper Lasagna noodles (not the seasoning) and chicken broth or water to the meat mixture. Bring to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente.
Reduce the heat to low. Add cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella to the noodles. Stir until the cheeses have melted.
Top with an additional 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and parsley before serving.
